Show me some proof where Reese promised Osi anything....other than Osi saying it happened.

I remember the this disagreement. Osi thought he was top 5 and JR didn't think so. I sided with Reese. I never thought Osi was wrong for trying ot get more money. I think he signed a big contract as a young player and realized what a mistake it was. The guy gave us what he had on the field. I never remember him loafing.

I never said he "loafed". I always had a problem with his public whining about a contract that made him the highest paid player at his position (at the time) of which he WILLINGLY signed. I never had a problem with the PLAYER...just the whining. But there is STILL no proof that Reese promised him anything. This is simply the word of a player who publicly bad mouthed the franchise because he had no leverage to force them to pay him more.

The whining doesn't bother me. His injuries bothered me more...that and his run defense, or lack there of. Giants make money hand over fist on these players, and while they are well compensated, believe me, the team is ALWAYS the ultimate winner in terms of revenue earned. To the players I say get as much as you can get because any major sports franchise in a metro area like NYC is raking in cash disproportionate to any effort or skill ownership uses in daily operations.

Osi was a really good player though, sacks are one thing but strip sacks are better. I mean it a turnover most of the time because the o-line is headed in the other direction. Sometimes its a turnover + a td or a lot of yards. He is right its a passing league so you want a guy who is a good pass rusher, he cant do it himself, with canty, tuck, our no-name linebackers he is not the all around player jpp is but if you use him right he is deadly.

Osi was a pass rush specialist....nothing more. And I appreciated him for that because he was great at it. Public whining over how many millions you think you deserve because you willingly signed a front loaded contract gets on my nerves.
